Anyone know why the NES version of Contra 1 never gets re-released? Even here, it’s the arcade version.
Because it’s coming for the NES app
How come other consoles get Ninty exclusives but Ninty fans don’t get other exclusives?
Nice!
Give me Symphony of the Night!!!!
Hope the castilvania collection has symphony of the night, 64, and portrait of ruin.
I think it is unanimous opinion that the Castlevania Collection won’t be worth it if Symphony of the Night isn’t part of it.
Does this mean that the Contra and Castlevania Collections are both physical, since they come with a book? They BETTER BE!
I hope we get contra 4.
This never came to Europe as far as know.
I’ll definitely get the castlevania collection.
If symphony of the night is in the Castlevania collection, I’ll certainly get it!
Best Castlevania Collection?
1 symphony of the night
2 dawn of sorrow
3 portrait of ruin
4 order of ecclesia
(+ bonus 1 circle of the moon 2 harmony of dissonance 3 aria of sorrow)
For this Collection i Pay no problem 100eur!
But in another ten years i dont hope for this. Konami ruin this Collection with b grade titles :(
I hope to see Potrait of Ruin but I also want to see Rondo of Blood
Finally a Contra collection
Hopefully Contra collection will include the Hard Corps games.
